To-day Is accepted as the lOSIh anni-
versary of our country's Independence.
To-day 108 years ago tfie Declaration
of Independence w as signed and promul-
gated to tho country. Ever since that
great event the day has been the occa-
sion for general rejoicing nnd jubilee In
every part of this free American conti-
nent. The whole country to-day from
the snow crcMed peaks of Maine's gi-
gantic mountains to where the limpid
riiives of tho peaceful ocenn kiss the
green shores of California; from the deep
recesses of the yet unexplored Alaska
to where the Mexican Gulf Is
encroaching upon the Island city
will reverberate with the elo-
quence of polished orators orators
who will tell to the youth of the coun-
try that tale that Is old yet ever new to
patrlotlo ears Hint tale of how our
honored ancestors though few In muni
hers yet firm In principle rebelled
against tho oppressions of llrltaln's
King and threw oil' the yoke of slavery.
They will tell how they struggled suf-
fered bled starred and died; how this
grand country that we now enjoy nnd
glory In was won for us by .their gal-
lant deeds. They will tell how It has
grown and Increased In wealth In prow-
ess In people nnd In strength until she
stands to-day unchallenged the supe-
rior of many the peer of tho best.
These same orators will ring in that
old story of tho grand bird of frccdoui
perched upon the loftiest peak of the
Itocky mountains and shrieking de-
fiance to tho "whole world. Yes these
chosen oratont will tell you all this
and more while they butcher the Eng
lish language with n recklessness born
only of the spirit of Independence and
freedom. Old men with hoary locks sli-
vered with time and bowed down
with inllrmlty will lift up their
voices and tell unto the youth of
the land our country's tale of freedom.
Young men fresh from the classlo halls
of some university and with the string
of Alma Mater's apron still peeping out
beneath their well-llttlng coats will In
the glowing word-painting of which
only n new fledged graduate Is guilty
repeat the same tale and be greeted with
tho thundering applause of admiring
thousands. Then there will be the
rustic orator who has had the story In-
stilled Into his blood from his mother's
breast who will tell It In homely but en-
trancing words and llnd himself ele
vated as a leader among his people.
Yes to-day the crop of Fourth of July
orators Is ripo for the sickle and many
nn ambitious youth has staked his fond-
est hopes on speaking to his fellows.
Here In San Antonio where stands
the Alamo as a reminder of the brave
and bloody struggle of a later day for
liberty of n tcrrtblo struggle to main
tain that liberty whose birth Is cele-
brated to-day silver-tongued orators
will repeat tho tale that will well up
from 10000 throats In 10000 different por-
tions of this mighty land to-day. Among
tho masses who will listen with
eyes agog and mouth agape
drinking In their stirring recitals of the
daring deeds of revolutionary days
mayhap thero'U be "some tillage Hauip-
den" who Is yet to Are multitudes with
his eloquence and make for himself n
place In Fame's golden temple. May-
hap such there'll be but the bulk of tho
mass will be mgde of sterner stufl" and
will show their appreciation of their
liberty by celebrating the day In a prac-
tical way. He rose up early this morn-
ing donned his best bib and tucker and
sallied forth as a freeman who trends a
freeman's soil. He inaugurated the day
by drinking a hearty bumper to the
father of his country and kept up tnat
lick until with the irrand procession lie
had reached the springs and seen the
snienuiu preparations mane to entertain
the heroes of the dar. He feels his na-
mono uiuuu neaiiug in nis veins aim
he longs to do something great lie
loners lor a war In which he onn shine
as a patriot leading his cohorts over
uioou-staineu cattle ileitis to grasp
tlie laurels or victory from a van
quished foe and carve for himself
n name on lame's eternal rolL
He keens un the blood heatlnir nroeess
with the assistance of King Uambrlnus
and shouts himself hoarse at what ho
deems a speaker's happy hits. In the
evening when old Sol has sunk below
the Western horizon and the silvery
nueen of nltrut comes forth to beam ininn
the gallant patriots he Is Been wending
his devious way along the orooked
streets uiiiiiiuiiiig iw niui8en;
('Behind the Itedman's bark the steam
boat ruins and raves.
And city lots are sold over gallant
heroes graves."
He finally becomes stranded and Is
hauled oiT by friends. Consciousness
lias deserted mm anil now lie dreams
foreetful of the too common scenes ol
every day lite. He dreams of crowds
entranced br his burning eloauence.
He feels himself lifted and borne along
amiu snout ami Bong upon me sturdy
arms of his admirers. He dreams still.
and now sword In hand he finds himself
The shrill cock crow and the practical
clatter or the milkman's bell arouse his
drowsy faculties. Slowly he opens his
heavy eyelids rubs them shakes him-
self together and looks up. As he docs
so his orbs are more distended and ho
begins to wonder whero be Is. He tries
to recall tho scenes ot yesterday hut
after n certain point all Is confusion lie
knows not how he come here nor what
ho has done. Slowly rising ho endeavors
to take In the surroundings. The room
Is new to lilm; he has never been there
before but realizes with sad reflection
that ho Is certainly there now. Ills head
he sees has been during the night
deeply burled Into the mattress atthu
root or the bed whllc;iils pedal exterml-
tles hare been comfortably linbeded In
the pillows at the other end. He sees
his collar peering at him from the top of
hat noises irracefullr on too of the cus
pidor where he left the remnants of his
Fourth of July dinner. Ills boots aro
carefully perched on topthodresslngcasa
while bis vest wrongeml up adorns thu
bed post and his stylish coot has sub-
sided In a heap on the floor. lie then
reels himself all overnnd convinces him-
self of his Identity but Is firmly per-
suaded that he Is the victim or some hor-
rible night mare and that Liberty's
drcnin Is broken Into it thousand worth-
less fragments. He meditates a while
but not long for a sudden parching
overpowering thirst comes upon him
and feels ns though his greatest happi-
ness would be to have a thousand silvery
springs finding their origin nmld the
snow-capped summits of the lofty
llocklcs whero the grand bird or Amer-
ican freedom soars In a majestlo circle
pouring their crystal Icy current down
his burning throat. He Is In fact dry
nnd realizes at last that lie has been on n
grand American drunk. Ills dreams of
eloquence arc lied his magnificent
armies are scattered and In place or fair
women's soft hands tendering tho hero
fragrant tributes of flowery beauty he
gazes upon an unsavory Cclestlalholdlng
out a three weeks past due "washee
washee " bill. He springs from bis bed
gathers up his scattered apparel not as
as general would his soldiers und pre-
pares to face a cold nnd cheerless world.
Again he sallies forth not so much
like the bold freeman or yesterday hut
very quietly and glances up and down
both sides or the street to see If anybody
Is looking his way. Then he comes out
his best bib nnd tucker considerably
worsted and heads for the nearest
saloon where ho braces up on whisky
and bitters and feels ready to meet the
world. Ho does not feci like abandon-
ing hopo and preparing to till a drunk-
ard's grave. Oh no he is more practi-
cal settles down to work and entertains
himself with happy visions of what a
glorious time he is going to have Christ-
mas. This Is simply n sketch based on a
fertile Inauguration and has no annllca-
tlon to the gallant sons or freedom who
will celebrate this glorious day In San
Antonio or elsewllero It would slander
them.

As If the Providence took n kindly In

rious day tho kindly clouds obscured
the sun this morning sufficiently to ren-
der marching In the procession endur-
able. Aurora had scarcely shown her
face above the hill tops before tho
crowds began to move und surge and
the streets presented a lively appear
anco and everything was arrayed In
holiday attire. The gay bunting flying
everywhere and tho tasty decora'
Hons which adorned many stores
and private homes gave to all
a plcturo of gayety that bespoke the ap
preolatlon of the occasion. Promptly at
the allotted time the procession formed
on Alamo plaza and moved off down

At the Alamo nlaza tho nrocesslon
was disbanded and a train or seven
cars stood waiting to convey the pedes
trians to &an reuro springs wuere tne
balance or the programme was to bo
carried out After a scries of stops the
cars Anally reached their destination
anu n orunanc scene was presenteu.
Veterans soldiers and civilians in uni-
form and private dress ladles In bright
costumes encouraging tho gallant war
riors Willi uasning eyes aim oeamtng
looks lent nn added attraction to tho
hnppy scene.
The first thing on the programme
after entering the trrounds at the
springs should have been the presenta
tion or tne ueautuui oanner to tne
Texas and Mexican War veterans by
the Misses King Klocke and Seffel but
owing to the delay of Captain Hal Gos-
ling who was to respond In putting In
his appearance this was deferred until
after lunch.
The Grand Army of the Itepublio the
Veterans and the .ex-Confederates with
their ladr friends were then arranired
on tho platform and their photographs
taken after which and some Inspiring
airs from the band the ex-Confederates
repaired to the dancing pavilion to or-
ganize an encampment. 'Major Teel
called the meetlnir to order and said:
"Comrades Wo have assembled this
morning for the purpose of organizing
an enoampmcnt or ex-Confederates. The
call was first given out by Colonel
Baylor's command but afterwards the
invitation was extended to all ex-Confederates.
Tho purpose Is to keep alive
not the old war snlrlt. but to meet In a
social spirit to talk over old times and
former campaigns."
Major Teel then said the first thing
was the nomination of temporary ofll-
cers and the appointment of a com-
mittee on permanent organization. A
hundred voices called for Major Teel to
take the chair and Messrs. Max Neuen-
dorf. K. P. Claudon. Lester and Elliott
"were nominated and eleoted Secretaries.
A committee of four as follows was
appointed on permanent organization
.with Instructions to report after adjourn-
ment of this meeting: Max Neundorf Dr.
Cupples John Ochse Albert Wallace
Morrill Poor and Colonel Crawford. On
motion the Chairman was added. A prop-
osition to adopt tho rules and by-laws of
the Grand Army of the Itepublio was
greeted by the query "Is there any pol-
itics In them?'' and answered In the
negative. Iheso rules wcro then en-
trusted to the committee.
lhechcerlnir notes of the band then
summoned the throng to lunch and this
reporter hurried buck to make a vain ef-
fort to still the typos' cry for copy. The
Lhiiit to-morrow will contain n full ac-
count of the proceedings or the day.

Fun on the Diamond Field.
Any little Incident Is seized upon by
the spectators nt the ball grounds If It
affords any amusing features 'lho
other day a foul ball flew otTthe bat and
lodged In one of tha awnings. The man
sitting nearest the awning ropes wore a
white high hat a spring suit elaborately
faced with drab silk a red nlcktle and a
small mustache. He smoked cigarettes
and looked more or less girlish. He rose
daintily from his seat and seized the
awning rope. Ab he did so at least 2000
men bawled such sentiments as. "Ab
mere" "imok out it win uue" "Treat
it gently Geawge" "Careful baby"
"How verv nrovokinc." and the like.
He grew very red made the mistake of
snowing nis anger anu puueii very naru
at the rope. He succeeded In yanking
tho owning a little but not very much.
a yen went up wnicu rainy snoot the
ouuuing. men everyonecrieu at once
"One. two. three now let her cro." A
the final word the dude made one more
frightful effort but again failed. Then
gathering all his strength he gave a
final Jerkwhlch dislodged the ball from
tne creases in tne awning.. 1 lie out-
burst of applause and congratulations
made everybody on the Held smile.
Again another foul ball spun from a
ui uucviijr lunaniB uu uverureaseu
and effeminate-looking man who sat
at the western end or the grand
stand. As the ball came towards him he
Jumped away with the rest of the crowd
anu yeueu excueuiy. ine yen was
somewhat shrill and rlvlted the atten
tion of the crowd. It happened that
the ball struck the chain or the over
dressed young man. and he nicked It u
daintily In his gloved hand. As he did
so two or tnree nunureu voices snouted
as tiiougn by a preconcerted signal;
"Drop that!"
He did It. Then there was
shout or laughter. He looked
around foolishly picked up the ball pet'
tlshlr. and made a feint to throw II
overhand as women usually throw. As
he drew his hand back over his head the
crowd again as though in one voice
orieu i
"Hold It!"
The man hesitated for an Instant and
then angrily threw the ball Into the
field. There was a burst or annluuse
derision and comment above which
couiu ue uisiinctiy nearu ine ononis:
''There you sassy thing!"
"I'm thankful It's nrettr near conven
tloir time" said aweary-looking Over-
esiimation aa it met a roousc surprise
"Ah! and why?" "I'm all footed out."
"What doing?" "Keeping books for the

to Chicago to meet that boom" said the
Surprise "and I think about Wednesday

on tuo subject for a fact. Whllo San
Antonio Is n llttlo off' as regards deep
water yet It Is entitled to all the other
honors because It Is the largest and best
city In Texas and because Its business
men have Inaugurated a road to tho
gulf that will not only maintain It as
the greatest city but make It In fact the
only seaport In Texas. San Antonio
